Two middle aged Suburban men who despite living on the same cul-de-sac have never actually met, find themselves becoming new best friends as this summer in the 'burbs will forever change them. Join these two ordinary guys who go from having their lives on pause for the summer to putting their lives on fast forward in an accidental search for meaning and something more out of life. Who would have thought that two grown men could get into so much trouble, but that is what a mid-life crisis will do to you!

My life had been one of simple routine. Everyday the same boring thing. Until the day Jade came along and flipped everything upside down and changed me forever. Don't be deceived however, this is not a classic love story that has a perfect fairy tale happy ending. This is real life, this is my Story.

My Christmas gift to you all~ It's a Tuesday afternoon. Bleurgh, Tuesdays. We have this weird teacher who's always snorting weird substances when no one's looking for our last two lessons. I'm pretty sure that affects her time perception too, because we're always let out 5 minutes late at the least. Now you might think, "5 minutes? Psssh. Stop complaining.", but 5 minutes is a huge setback when it comes to catching the bus. If you're let out 5 minutes late, it better take you 5 seconds at your locker, assuming you don't wait an extra 5 minutes for that, or you'll miss the first bus. "What's so bad about waiting 15 minutes?", I hear you ponder. You obviously haven't tried using public transport in South Australia then. (From Ethan's perspective)

Just anouther girl living in the suburbs of California. That is, until her new neighbors move in and turn her picturesque world on its head.
